In this study, the performances of the refrigeration unit for the box under actual operating conditions were examined by using the constant temperature and humidity chamber (air enthalpy method). For this purpose, the degree of superheat, pressure, and temperature were measured while changing the EEV opening, the compressor speed, the outdoor temperature, and the load in the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration unit. The highest cooling performance was found at EEV 33%. However, EEV 35% with low compression ratio and degree of superheat was the most reliable in terms of reliability. Considering the compressor speed and cooling performance, the refrigeration unit was in an optimal condition at the compressor speed 3,040RPM. The results of this study will be provided as basic data for the optimal design of refrigeration units for box.

This Study is carried out to stabilize the system according to the change of superheat and subcooling in binary refrigeration system by applying cascade system. When the system on 1 st stage was started and the system on the other side was operated, a temperature reversal phenomenon occurred in which the temperature of the 1 st cascade outlet was temporarily lowered. This means that the condensate heat exchange on the 2 nd is not good, which can cause the compressor to overheated. In order to maintain stable system operation, the opening degree of the expansion valve is controlled to increase the refrigerant circulation amount, thereby facilitating the condensation heat exchange on the 2 nd stage system. We have found that the most suitable refrigerant circulation amount is found by stabilizing the operation of the system while lowerning the super low temperature from -65℃ to -70℃ and increasing again to -60℃.

The refrigerant temperature of a compressor increases due to heat generated in the discharge chamber and the motor. The increase of the suction temperature raises the superheat resulting in EER reduction. Thus, accurate superheat prediction is needed for the design of an efficient compressor. In this paper, the unsteady flow analysis is performed using CFD to predict the superheat. The results show that the suction temperature increases by about 26 °C which agrees well with the experiments.

Abstract The increase of the superheat is one of several factors adversely affecting the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle. To this end, it is important to release the heat inside the compressor. Therefore, in this paper, we have increased the convective heat transfer coefficient inside the compressor by utilizing the vibration of the moving part of the compressor. The results show that reducing the gap between the shell and the moving part increases the flow velocity in the gap resulting in the increase of convective heat transfer coefficient.
